Antique Ladies Leather Shoes Circa 1900 Beige Pumps Heels Beaded Foot Straps VTG

Antique shoes, likely circa 1900 - 1910.

Leather, off-white in color.

Elastic straps across the top of the foot, decorated with fabric and beads.  The elastic has dried out and it no longer stretchy.  The fabric is frayed in many places - maybe it's silk?

 

These measure approximately 10" from toe to heel and approximately 2.75" at the widest. The heel is approximately 1.25" tall. The heels are a bit loose from the shoes.

Pre-owned.  Condition issues include discoloration, missing beads, scuffs, cuts in the leather, wear to the soles, frayed fabric, dried out elastic, etc.

I acquired these from a museum of Victorian fashion in Tombstone, Arizona when the owner closed the museum for his retirement.
